Our reality is wild
A message from the University of MN President acknowledging we've been doing this for 2 years.
I was standing in line for a Rapid test last week, and while looking around at the carefully placed dots 6 feet apart, the National Guardsmen checking people in and administering tests, traffic cones guiding the flow of traffic, the sanitizer stations and double-masks, I was really struck with how normalized this surreal situation is. Remember when we thought we'd be working from home for like, 2 weeks max? Like, people for real said the Covid fear was an overreaction and everything would be fine soon.

It really made me loop back like, I have almost no documentation of what Covid Times are like, because it's just so a part of everyday life now. We have a concert that has been rescheduled 3 times, in Chicago for Final Fantasy VII Remake, and apparently it's still happening in early Feb. Coordinating Rapid tests and navigating requests for isolation periods to not expose Sean right before her Actuary exams, negotiating masking and distancing based on comfort levels. All just so wild.
